That ended up being fun. Yes a shaky first half where VAR saved us from a shocking refereeing decision, their other 'goal' was a joke , you can't take it early and moan when not given! As my son texted me " even if their cheating penalty had stood and they score, and their cheating free kick had stood , we would still have won 3-2 ( we wouldn't of course since goals change games )
I think our results , and performances, this season have been nothing short of exceptional . We bought 4 , on paper, class players to boost the squad, and all have looked the part ( maybe too soon to decide re Llorente, but he grew into the game yesterday)and 3 have been injured for most of it., so we have been doing it with championship players plus Raphinha. He had better stay so we can watch him in the flesh next season - he will even have the West stand on their feet, what a talent So 35 pts , enough to keep villa up last time with 13 to go. My only concerns are the pich - both possible injury wise and it does not help our game, plus, once the players believe they are safe will they give it 100% in training every day ? The "speculation " re Beilsa annoyed me - his lengthy explanation cleared everything up , he wants to stay, we want him to stay, the owner wants him to stay, so he is staying but with 13 games left it is too soon to be 100 per cent sure that things will not change - I suppose it is different to the " can Leeds sustain the energy levels, and is Bamford good enough ( both yes by the way) Dave On Tuesday, 23 February 2021, 21:53:26 GMT, John Lee via Leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> wrote: Yep, that’ll do nicely ;-) Sent from my iPad > On 23 Feb 2021, at 21:15, "n...@6haroldplace.co.uk" <n...@6haroldplace.co.uk> > wrote: > > Presumably that’ll do you? > > Three sweet left feet, or what. > > But fucking hell did we sack the guy who puts the studs in? > > Just between Spurs and Arse ... theres probably a dodgy gag in there...and > another! > > Nick > > Sent from my iPad > >> On 23 Feb 2021, at 16:15, John Lee via Leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> >> wrote: >> >> Not so much a must win game, but definitely a need to win match, otherwise >> the chasing pack will be nudging past us.
